Zeke's POV

“Been wanting to ask you why you've been awfully scarce these days. Found new company?” I asked, pouring Abe a glass as we settled in my chambers.

He took it from me and looked away, like he was intentionally avoiding the question.

“Keeping silent only makes me more suspicious.” I told him.

“You're overthinking it. It's just the Moon Festival. That's all. Been making arrangements. Already sent Marcus ahead, by the way. What was the situation at court today?”

    Ever's POVThe Matrons rang the morning bell to wake everyone up. I opened my eyes to Mila's hands on my face and pulled it off.Kia rose first, then I followed in low groans and full of aches.I let out a loud yawn, stretching as I got up.I didn't know how badly I needed that nap. And after it, I felt a tad bit lighter than I did the night before.What I'd told Hagan last night.I wondered if he would actually eventually give a response. I kept telling myself all hope was lost between us but couldn't help but wish he'd actually…do something.But even yesterday, he barely gave what I said a reply.“Does she plan to sleep here all day?” Kia asked me, pointing towards Mila.“Just wake her up, Kia. C'mon, it's not that hard.”“Oh no, wait. How about we let Matron Agnes find her instead. Maybe then I'd loosen up with her. If she paid a bit or two.” She suggested and I just rolled my eyes.“You've got to be kidding, Kia,” I said, approaching to wake Mila myself.“Oh, trust me, it's anythi

    Zeke's POV“Been wanting to ask you why you've been awfully scarce these days. Found new company?” I asked, pouring Abe a glass as we settled in my chambers.He took it from me and looked away, like he was intentionally avoiding the question.“Keeping silent only makes me more suspicious.” I told him.“You're overthinking it. It's just the Moon Festival. That's all. Been making arrangements. Already sent Marcus ahead, by the way. What was the situation at court today?”“She's on probation till Rhaeya's awake and gives her testimony.” I took a gulp and he did the same.“And you? Do you think she did it?” He asked me.I stared through my drink and pondered on his question.“And why does that matter? It's Hagan's Pack. She's his subject. He decides what her fate is. That's all that matters.”“Zeke, it was just a question.”“And I gave an answer. Kia will be fine now, you need not worry.”His face whitened.“What? Kia? What'd you mean, Kia? What does she have to do with this?”I rolled my

    Hagan’s POV“I might not say it often, Zeke. But it's been a pleasure to have you here.” I told him as we rested against the railings. “During this short term, this alliance has done so much for Greymak’s growth.”One of the most important plays of an alliance was to associate your Pack’s progress with the ally involved. It was a way to make them feel responsible for your Pack's progress and enable them to do more. Even if both packs benefited from the project.I stared at him, waiting for a reply.“If that's all you called me out for, Hagan. I'll be retiring back to my room.” My face wrinkled as he turned to leave.“Why do you keep acting like I'm forcing this alliance on you?” I stopped him. “If you want out, you could just let me know. The drama is unnecessary.” I told him, my words unrestrained.He turned to me, an eerie smile etched on his face. “For such a glazed Alpha, Hagan. You're pretty slow.” I stiffened.What?He left again with no words, my gaze following behind.His word

    Ever’s POVMy eyes searched the corners of the hallway. When I saw no one was around, I made towards her room, palms sweating as I approached.A sigh left me as I came to face the door. I made to knock, then stopped halfway.This was a bad idea. I should leave before I got seen.As I turned to leave, a masculine hand clasped around my mouth as my eyes widened. The things I'd been holding fell from me.I attempted to scream but a familiar scent hit me. I realized who it was.I shot him side glares as he pulled me into a deserted hallway.“What're you…” He covered my mouth. We indulged in a long open stare as he slowly released his hands.“I'm sorry.” He whispered. “For everything.”My face twisted in utter annoyance as the words left his lips.Sorry?Was that it?That was what he had to say? Just sorry?Like two words meant anything.Compared to what I always had to put up with, those words meant nothing.“Sorry I didn't speak up during the council trial. Any tongue slip and they'd cat

    Ever's POVI backed away from the door as she followed with slow steps, that eerie look never leaving her eyes.“So it's true, huh?” She chuckled, scanning the place. “You offered yourself the luxury of such a place while the rest of us stayed at the ranch.” Her laughter came to an abrupt stop as she closed in on me. “And then you have the audacity to preach equality, Ever?” She shot, eyes piercing through mine.“What're you doing here, Hannah?” I asked, tone firm.“Actually…” She plucked a hair from my side. “The real question, Ever…is what are you doing here?”“This is my room. I'm supposed to be here. You came here uninvited and with an unwelcoming presence.”“Well, sorry to burst your bubble, princess,” she said, striding in slow circles around me. “But facing you now…is the new head maid of the Luna's escort.”My gaze shot to meet hers. I swallowed hard.So they really did it. He really let them do it.But why. Why Hannah. Of all people.“You have 10 seconds to get your trash and

    Ever's POV I lowered my head, unable to bring myself to meet her gaze. “What?” She shot. “I know it wasn't fair to withhold that from you and I can promise you Kia, I'm so, so sorry I did.” “How long have you known?” She asked. I looked away, ridden with guilt. How could I bring myself to say that it was since Zeke's reception night? “How long, Ever?” I paused, letting the silence help me choose my next words. But it didn't matter. No matter how I put it. The truth still remained that I'd kept it from her. “Since the reception night.” Her face paled as she left the side of the tub. She didn't say a word and just left to the main room. “Kia!” I looked behind. “Kia, please wait, I'm sorry.” The sound of the door being whisked open and immediately shut interrupted. I slumped into the pool, heart heavy as I stared at the water around me. It all suddenly felt cold. I'd finally managed to ruin it. The one good thing I had in this Pack, besides my mate bond with Hagan. I laughed. T
